2-in-One Drip Irrigation Tubing Hole Punch & Fitting Insertion Tool - for Easier 1/4 Inch Fitting & Emitter Insertion

Connecting 1/4 line to 1/2 main line

After struggling with the tool provided with another product, this tool made puncturing tubing much easier. Im glad I purchased it. As for the insertion function, I couldnt make it work.

The first time I used it. It went all the way thru the tubing and put a small hole on the opposite side.. I went back to the old one I had after that..

This tool makes puncturing the main irrigation tubing easier but I did have a little trouble using it to push the fitting into the tubing.

Used on 1/2 drip tubing without difficulty, have not used insertion asset part yet. Fair price.

As a whole punch, its awesome: sharp point and good size and shape to maintain a grip while pushing the tool into 1/2 inch or larger supply pipe. But its useless for inserting emitters-- you can lay the quarter-inch tubing into the channel but it will just slip down when you try to push an emitter into it. To be fair, I dont see a tool design that would work for this purpose. The only strategy that has worked for me is dipping the end of the tubing into hot water; the emitter slips on effortlessly. I gave it four stars because its a well-made tool at a reasonable price; it fails only at what is likely an impossible task for any tool.

In process of getting everything ready for installation of drip irrigation system, found my new system doesn’t use this tool. Gonna keep it as I like it and might find another use …. HANDY FARM DEVISE

Not much use untill you drill a 7/32 hole in one of the slots . Then you can use it to hold 1/4 barb fittings while installing them on tubing.

Works well. Don’t push too hard or you might go through both walls
